I'm Saph

I go by they/them or he/him. I'm an author, independent journalist, psychology major, non-profit coordinator, and a volunteer teacher.

I mostly create and sell my inventions whether it's an app, a program, or a new cooling mechanism for engines and transmissions.

If you're here from one of my blogs or articles, thanks for taking the time to search for me! I do still use my websites to post majority of the content, but feel free to go through the things here :)

Shout-out to Paige for helping me manage this

Finally figured out what I am going to do with this blog!

I will also post about some of my hobbies like gardening, crocheting, cooking and maybe even some of my fanfics.

I'm currently working on a book called, "The Tales of Triatlon", a medival fantasy story in a world built on feelings and emotions (literally)

And another untitled story that revolves around a star (literal star) that everyone just forgets one day (Sci fi, humor)

Current projects

0.1. A cooling system for unmanned vehicles that could help increase the engine efficiency.

0.2. A paper on media bias in the United States and how it caused a general shift of the overall political spectrum to the right. (putting that social psychology program and my experience in independent journalism to a good use)

1. An app to integrate erp systems with discord for funsies (Update: Donezo)

2. An app to send me cute pictures of cats when my diary entries are sad using NLP and a hybrid cloud architecture (Update: Its done; Update 2: Its meh and should've never been built. I was so preoccupied with whether I could that I didn't stop to think whether I should)

Recipe for a coconut baked fish/paneer/tofu

Ingredients

coconut milk, honey, fish steaks or paneer/tofu sliced into 1 inch thick slabs, salt, chili powder, turmeric powder

Preparation

To a large bowl, add 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 cup coconut milk, unsweetened, 1-2 tsp turmeric, and Salt and chili powder to taste

Mix everything, toss in the protein. If using fish, store it in the refrigerator for 15 mins. If tofu/paneer, better to store it at room temp. (esp paneer cus you should place it in hot water for a few mins for it to soften before tossing it in. Someone should prolly mention this before the tossing it in step huh. Oh well)

Oh, keep some sauce aside

Bake it in the oven, preheated to 220C for 10-15 mins for the fish and 10-20 mins for paneer/tofu

Serve it over hot coconut rice or any spiced rice. Heat the sauce you definitely set aside and mix with the rice

Will share recipe for coconut rice tomorrow. It was quite good!
